Benitez: United are nervous
-
Rafa Benitez believes Manchester United are looking nervously over their shoulder at his resurgent Liverpool side.
The Reds cruised to a 4-0 win against Blackburn to top the table for a couple of hours, while United had to rely on the late heroics of teenager Federico Macheda for the second week in a row to beat Sunderland 2-1.
And, while Liverpool have scored 14 goals in their last four league games, Manchester United have lost twice, and relied on two late winners.
Although United remain a point clear with a game in hand, the Spaniard is convinced Sir Alex Ferguson is uncomfortable with Liverpool breathing down United's neck.
"He is talking about us because they're feeling the pressure we're putting on them," Benitez told The Sunday Telegraph.
"I know he is nervous, and that is good."
And Benitez has dismissed Ferguson's attempts to talk down Liverpool's title chances, saying he pays no attention to the United manager's comments.
"Mind games are for managers who are affected by them. But I don't understand him because he talks in a Scottish accent," he said.
"Normally I am just worried about my team and I don't care what people say."

well, potato-man, even if your team wins all the games, and gets 100-0 scoreline, U won't win the league... so who's nervous??

well I have to agree that I am nervous over Man Utd defending these days, but not cos of Liverpool as Man Utd still lead the table with 1 point with a game in hand. If Man Utd win their game in hand, its 4 points dude. Man Utd only need to win all its matches to win the league title, doesnt matter the performance, a win is a must.
